I tried to set up a hyperlink so that someone can go to the site and download an adobe file that I post there. I was able to put word and excel files there and go to the site and open them but the acrobat files are coming up blank.

Clicking a link to an acrobat file will open the file in the browser (using the
acrobat reader) to download acrobat files you need to zip them (with Winzip or
similar) then upload them and link to the zip file.

Files like Word or Excel will open with their default applications (if the user
has them, else it will download if the application (or the equivalent word or
excel reader) doesn't exist on the users system).

Can you post the url to the problem link(s) please?
